Jvarotpatti — The Origin and Distribution of Jvara
Fever
परमात्माकी प्रेरणासे काल इन पाँच तत्त्वोंद्वारा समस्त प्राणियोंकी सृष्टि करता है। जो इनसे भिन्न किसी अन्य तत्त्वको प्राणियोंके शरीरोंका उपादान कारण बताता है, वह निस्संदेह झूठी बात कहता है ।।
viddhi nārada pañcaitān śāśvatān acalān dhruvān | mahatas tejaso rāśīn kāla-ṣaṣṭhān svabhāvataḥ ||
阿悉多说：“那罗陀啊，当知此五者恒常、不动、坚固——乃光辉能量之巨大聚集。就其本性而言，与时间相合，便成六分之理。创造正是凭借时间，在至上之我所推动下，通过这些元素而展开；若有人另立他物为有身众生之质料因，必是妄言。”

Educational Q&A
Creation of embodied beings proceeds through the five elemental principles, with Time functioning as a sixth factor; attributing the body’s material cause to anything other than these is presented as false.
In a didactic exchange, Asita instructs Nārada on cosmological principles: the five enduring elemental ‘masses of tejas’ and the role of Time, under the Supreme Self’s impetus, in bringing forth living beings.
